Children Playing at the Beach

This is two pages of a sketchbook: The upper page shows a child frolicking on the beach, looking out over the water with both hands up while kicking his right leg into the air; The lower page shows one child sitting in front of another who is lying down, it is inscribed "Burial" so presumably the one child is burying the other in the sand.

Bertha May Ingle

c. 1928: Ingle visited Santa Monica in 1928 so that is the earliest possible date for these drawings. They are also in a sketchbook full of drawings from the mid to late twenties.
